RODRIGUEZ, Octavio. Keys for the agenda of the development. Prob. Des [online]. 2011, vol.42, n.164, pp.5-23. ISSN 0301-7036.

This article is based on Celso Furtado's hypothesis of the renovation of the development agenda for Latin America. The author pays particular attention to analyzing the concepts of development, cultural identity, auto-centric growth, international insertion, cooperation and asymmetries. These concepts have come to be key ones in the development agenda. All of this is from the global viewpoint of cultural systems. In particular, this work is important because it aims to establish the basic concepts for sustaining the development agenda in under-developed countries. Seen in this way, under-development creates and impedes a proper cultural identity and therefore impedes development as defined in its traditional manner.
